THE

BECKER BULLETINSt. Augustine

Don’t forget…5th grade Safety Patrol members will be joining Mrs. Matts and myself on a fun-filled, educational field trip to St. Augustine this Tuesday, May 8th. Students need to be at school no later than 7:00 that morning, as the bus will be leaving at 7:15 sharp. We should be returning by 6:00 pm.

For this field trip, students should wear their red HLA t-shirts and comfortable walking shoes. They should also bring a large lunch, a snack, and plenty of water. In addition, I would recommend sunscreen, a book or sketchbook for the bus ride, and some cash. While money isn’t necessary at the Castillo de San Marcos, Flagler College, or the Lightner Museum, we will have some free time to explore the shops on St. George Street. Please don’t allow your children to bring anything expensive or irreplaceable. I hope that this is a memorable trip to celebrate a fantastic year!

The Week In Review Miscellaneous

SS: We are currently focusing on the events leading up to the American Revolution.ELA: We continued our class novel, Sign of the Beaver, did spelling, and focused on the suffix, “-phobia.” Math: We took a break from math to focus on the science FSA! Science: We just finished the FSAs by completing the science exam. Students seemed to think that they did well!

Word of the Week:Our word of the week was “determination.” Determination is the essences of increasing your chances of being successful in a particular thing or achieving a particular goal, and it can also help you to stay motivated and continue striving towards the one thing you want to achieve.

Living MuseumAll students should have submitted the name of the historical individual that they are researching by today. Remember, students will need to research their individual’s contributions to society, and present in-class, dressed as that person, on Thursday, May 24th, which is also PI Night.

GraduationGraduation will be Tuesday, May 29th, from 1-2. We will have a brief ceremony where students and faculty will give speeches, and then we’ll have cake! Mrs. Wonders has agreed to order a cake, so please send in $ if you’d like to help out.
